St Joseph's School

Canberra Private Schools introduces St Joseph's School in Waroona, for all your education and learning needs.

St Joseph’s School, as an integral part of the Waroona Catholic Community, is inspired by Christ’s teachings. We endeavour to nurture all children to grow as confient, independent, life-long learners, enabling them to contribute to society with dignity, respect and a spirit of service.

Our school recognises the importance of the Sisters of St Joseph in our past, present and future. The first sisters to teach at St Joseph’s left such an indelible legacy that the Staff chose to remember them by naming our sports teams after them: Leah, Claude and Elizabeth.

We also honour their commitment, courage and faith by using wood from the first blackboards used by these sisters, as the material for the Josephite Cross, now proudly hanging in our new Administration area. The cross was made by Mr John (Jack) Race in 1997, in time for the official opening of the Administration Block in 1998.
